Emily Eldred has been working in the realm of book arts for twenty years. She earned a BFA in Sculpture with a certificate in writing at the University of Iowa in 2015 and is a current MFA candidate at the University of Iowa Center for the Book. Her sculptural works concern themes of censorship and memory, including long-term ongoing performances and participatory installations. Her letterpress-printed artist books (printed under Chaotic Harmony Press) tell stories, attempting to translate life experiences into the book medium, the latest body of work documenting the past year’s physical and emotional effects of a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
